Eefore being discharged by Judge Jones Saturday, the grand jury sub mitted a report of the body's work during the week's. term of Superior court. The grand jury" examined 92 bills, of which 88 were returned as true bills. . : . in making its report the grand jury returned a sealed envelope contain ing presentments against certain par ties, m and the Judge, instructed that these matters be kept secret until they should be acted upon by the so licitor at the next term of court. The grand jury recommended that Guilford's representatives in the next legislature be requested to introduce and work for the passage of a law requiring that all persons convicted of capital offences in North Carolina be carried to Raleigh and executed in the state prison. This recommenda tion has been the subject- of much favorable comment, and. doubtless such a bill will be introduced in the general assembly. , Bank Officials Indicted. The grand Jury returned a bill of indictment against the following offi cials of the City National Bank: Col. W. S. Thomson, president; "Lee H. Battle, cashier, and J. A. Hoskinsand C. H. Dorsett, directors. These gen tlemen are charged with i false pre tense in that it is alleged that they permitted the bank to receive money on deposit after they knew the In stitution to be Insolvent. The pre sentment was made by the grand jury at the September term of court. It is but fair to the gentlemen - in dicted to say that the officers of the bank have claimed all the while, and still contend, that the bank was not insolvent and that it would have paid every dollar of its obligations but for the panic, the general finan cial stringency making it impossible to realize on much of the paper held by the bank. , THE ASSOCIATED! CHARITIES. Greensboro People Asked to Contrib ute $2,500 to Worthy Charity. The Associated Charities, an or ganization recently formed in Greens boro with the object of dispensing charity to worthy cases in a syste matic and business-like manner, is endeavoring to raise $2,500 . to carry the work through the winter.

The association is attempting to respond to all worthy calls and will appre ciate donations from the charitably inclined people of the community at this season., ! Every dollar donated to the Asso ciated Charities will.be spent judici ously, for it is the rule of the asso ciation to investigate carefully every case reported before extending aid. The officers of the association are: L. J. Brandt, president; Rev. T. J. Ogburn, vice president; Mrs. W. E. Blair, secretary; Neil Ellington, treas urer; Prof. W. C. Jackson, auditor. The officers, with Rev. Mcltoi? Clark and Mrs. T. J. Copelannd, constitute the executive committee. . The finance committee is composed of Messrs. L. J. Brandt,-L. M. Clymer, Joseph J. Stone, E. P. Wharton anc! W. S. Lyou. Any officer or any member of the finance committee will receive donations. Sentenced to Penitentiary for Years. 12 Sydney Pass, colored, who killed Arthur Brittain, colored, near Stokes dale on September 11, submitted to a verdict of murder In the second degree in the Superior court Friday afternoon and Saturday morning was sentenced by Judge Jones to twelve years in the pnitentiary. Four wit nesses were introduced and testified as to the particulars of the homicide. Pass and Brittain were employed on a road construction force near Stokes dale and became engaged in a quar rel on the afternoon of the murder, the quarrel developing after' the two had engaged in . a wrestling match. Pass struck Brittain across the fore head with a stick and the wounded man died a short time afterward. Col. John A. Barringer and Mr. T. E. Whitaker appeared for Pass.

During the past sixteen years nearly one-third of the students in attendance have defray ed their own expeass without the help of parents or others. As indi cating the development of the public schools in North Carolina this report shows that during the year 1906-07, out of a total enrollment of 561, 545 were prepared wholly or partially In the public schools of the state. While the preparation of the students is still deficient along ' certain lines there is marked improvement from year to year. Enter the Promising Field of Teleg raphy. .
